Media incitement worries Delaney

FAI CHIEF executive John Delaney fears for the safety of his staff after recent media coverage he claims could incite trouble.

Delaney, the FAI and Republic of Ireland boss Steve Staunton were severely criticised following the last-gasp and embarrassing 2-1 win over Europe’s worst team in San Marino earlier this month.

Supporters at the Euro 2008 qualifier at the Serravalle Stadium demanded Delaney quit, with the aftermath resulting in a number of news articles he insists have become personal.
